Moon shots

Moon lovers, take in the top photo of the Botafogo harbor in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It’s downright gorgeous: the trimaran centered on a reflected shaft of moonlight, hills lightly speckled with streetlights, and the smooth, glowing sepia tone enhanced by wiggling masts on sailboats. It’s simply an awe-inspiring night shot.

But Rio, as you might have guessed, isn’t the only place to brilliantly capture the moon and its surroundings. The other pictures here are taken at the Sandal Castle in the U.K., off the coast of South Korea, and Cabbage Tree Point in Queensland, Australia.

“I’ve never struggled so much to capture one picture,” Matthias Dengler explained. “This adventure was the starting point of my photographic career.”

He dreamed of photographing the unique overlook for quite some time. During a six month stint living in Norway he knew he would have few opportunities to reach his destination. He made it part of his morning routine to check weather reports for the perfect day. One morning it was clear. The rain would break for about a day. This was his chance!
